I feel so bad for "The Wolf" Why the hell have they kept him out of school to play golf?

Surely he doesn't need a full day to hit a ball with a stick.

These dreams of
 
Did he just call his son a "poof"

Is that even a word anymore?

This is like a mockumentary! I'm waiting on Peter Kay, Ricky Gervais and Chris Lilley (Summer Heights High) to appear with their "kiRAB"
 
Boxing dad was very ordinary and I could connect with him and the reasons why he was doing this with the kid. As for all the others, terrible...cringeworthy...
 
I missed the interview with him, but I thought that he was the most supportive of his child when he was involved in a competition and was the only one to say 'you did me proud', rather than harping on about the mistakes they were making/ had made.
 
I had to stop watching that programme, the golf dad was starting to wind me up. Honestly, that child has no education, his parents are unemployed, hardly a good example. What happens if he gets to the age of 18 and decides he doesn't want to do it anymore? What happens then? The other thing that annoyed me was that his dad had planned his entire life and was talking about the boat, the car, everything, and I was sat here completely aghast!
 
Out of all the parents, I think "The Iceman's" dad was the most sensible - at least he appeared to realise that he was becoming a monster.

The dad of "The Wolf" was an idiot. First he doesn't like being pulled up for cheating, and he's getting his kid to do it all for the wrong reasons. Plus wasn't it said that his dad hasn't entered him into international competitions? I felt kind of sorry for him, that he had a pushy mum as well as dad.

The tennis dad was utterly barmy. His daughter probably started losing it when he started screaming obscenities at her.

The boxing dad was awful too, watching him drag his kid to Azerbaijan was awful. I'll give the fact that the kid looked more like he wanted to do it and wasn't being entirely forced.
 
OH. MY. GOD.
Even that tennis player kid's dad "so you're just thanking me then?" Isn't it a bit telling that your daughter thinks she neeRAB to thank you??
These people are so weird, it's terrible.
 
I thought all the families had massive (working class) chips on their shoulders, and believed their kiRAB were their way to a fortune. However, the whole thing highlighted why the Brits have so little success on the international sports front. No infrastructure is provided - it seems to depend on a totally amateur circuit... Even relatively well-off families like the Murrays cannot get their kiRAB to a number one position. I also fear for Tom Daley as I don't think whatever backing he is getting from the swimming federation is anywhere near what other countries give their youngsters...
